Blogging!

Finish typing and publishing your final draft of your "This I Believe" essay. Make sure it has a good title and label it "This I Believe."

Would You Like to Submit? (Optional)

As none of you are 18, I will ask that you submit from home with your parent. You are asked to read and agree to the terms of a submission agreement that addresses publishing rights before submission. When you do this, this is the link to the submission page!
Notice that reviewers for submission to the site make these suggestions:
  • Please limit your essay to approximately 500 words.
  • Tell a story that illustrates how your personal belief was shaped.
  • Please refrain from writing an opinion piece about a public issue. We want the story of your belief, not an editorial about a current event.
  • Tell us what you do believe, not what you don’t believe.
  • Read our [[/guidelines/|essay-writing guidelines]].
  • Proofread your essay before you submit it, as we do not accept corrections or changes after we receive your essay.
